Gloves, frozen fingers

[fouramdesigns]

I have a pair of Alpinestar Drystar's. Rated for cold weather, and bought from Kneedraggers on cust reviews, but my finger tips are getting  blown out, just painful. Upper 30's this AM. with a second pair of gloves under. I've tried both with liner and without. Any recommendation on gloves. Just a waste of $50 on these

I would recommend heated glove inserts and maybe handguards.  I've already added the handguards but have already decided to get the heated inserts also.

I have the Tourmaster Synergy heated gloves (and jacket liner), and they are both fantastic.

P.S. you might want to move this thread to the "Gear" forum.

I bought a set of these http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/37/686/ITEM/Olympia-4150-Gore-Tex-All-Season-Gloves.aspx and also have some wind stopper liners for the colder days and have had NO issues.  I too suffer from frozen fingers and wanted to try the non-wired route.  This worked for me the other night with a windchill of 30 degrees and I had no issues.

i finally broke down and put big nasty handguards on the bike for winter a few years ago. that combined with heated gloves have made a massive improvement.

You could also consider adding heated grips.

+1, still the best 40 bucks I´ve put on my bike.

I went with Gerbing heated gloves and liner and would recommend it for anyone riding in the cold.

i think heated grips are useless.

heated glove liners > everything. especiall with microwire by gerbing. if i had to buy them again, id defintely get the liners over the bulky gloves

OK

I rode to work this morning, it was 40* out, I was wearing my comfy, summer Held gloves...and my hands were toasty thanks to my Oxford heated grips. Worthless I guess.

Heated gloves are a PIA IMO, since you have to mess with wires and you have to have the gloves with you. Grips are ALWAYS on your bike. 

I'd only get heated gloves if I rode in very cold weather (sy 35* and below)...a lot of the time.

Anyway, to the OP...Oxford heated grips. search ebay...they're about $80 and they work very well.

i had Dualstar heated grips on my bike for 2 years. my commute is 70mph highway speeds + city traffic @ 15-40degrees for about 1:30 hours. Grips dont cut it. they keep your palm toasty, which is pointless when the wind is blowing at the back of your hand. 40 degrees is still fair weather riding.

I agree the heated grips are not sufficient when it is in the 30s-40s, but heated gloves are not an option for all of us.

how about wearing a thin summer glove underneath and XXS heated glove on top? I can ask my gf to put on her size XS icon pursuit gloves and then stick them in my XS gerbings for you if you like. thats unless i already mentioned this before. It really sucks that you girls with small hands have absolutely no options as far as heated gloves go

I kinda know how you feel though. Gerbings run down to XXS, im wearing XS and my gf can put her hand in it and still have about 3/4 inch until she hits the tips.

pee in your gloves before putting them on and they'll be pretty warm for the first bit of the ride...

at least that works in scuba diving... (ahem, don't try it in a dry suit...)
